By the way, I am running this ESC with orion 1900kv motor on 6s, gearing 15/46 and experiencing thermal cut offs after like 2-3 laps ( driving the car nowhere near to the pros' times, arround 10s slower). Is this ESC just weak to handle 1/8 power, or what else could be wrong? I see pros using simmilar gearing eg for tekin 1900kv on 4s, I see amateurs running close to 1:2 pinion:spur ratio, I am ~ 1:3 and still cant drive properly. Is it the 6s power or what :/
6S is way too much voltage for 1900kv motors. You might want to go down to 4s, or switch out the motor with a lower KV like a 1400. You might be fast, but most likely just spinning tire everywhere.
